Resistor Color Code Guide
Locked
 
|
I'm slowly but surely gathering the tools and such so I'll have every
thing necessary to build a K2. I remember in my earlier ham days that I had a little chart from RadioShack. You dialed up the colors in the correct order and it gave you the value of the resistor. It may come in handy during the build. I don't think RadioShack carries these any longer, per a quick phone call I just made. Are there any other sources for something like this?

Rich,
My 8 year old grandson grasped the resistor/capacitor color code in about 15 minutes of sorting resistors. Buy one of those resistor 'grab-bags' and sort them - when you are finished, you should have a good recall of the color code. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I'm slowly but surely gathering the tools and such so I'll have every > thing necessary to build a K2. > > I remember in my earlier ham days that I had a little chart from > RadioShack.

Color code is easy! Remember the rhyme we learned in radio school:
Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly! Gold is more valuable than Silver! First letters in each word gives clue to color. Do they still talk about ELI the ICE man? (To find about when voltage leads current and vice-versa.) 73, Sandy W5TVW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen W.

Not politically correct? Only the most boorish idiot that ever lived would even dream of sending it. Pardon my lack of political correctness.

Well, we went through ways the military taught code practice. Here's how the military taught me to remember the color code including tolerance: Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly for Gold Silver or Nothing Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray White 5% 10% 20% I've remembered it for 43 years. And that's the clean one.

Re: Resistor Color Code Guide - Thanks

Thanks for all the info fellas. I didn't realize this information is in
the manual, and its obviously on the net with a quick search. I thought it would be neat to have a tool I used years ago. I think I may have been lucky. The local Radioshack told me they are no longer available. However, he checked the company inventory and found one in another city and is having shipped here. If that doesn't pan out I'll print one off the net or copy it out of the manual and laminate it so it will be handy. Thanks again for all the ideas.
